Burnin' is a roots reggae album by The Wailers, released in 1973 (see 1973 in music). The fourth album by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer[?] (the last before Tosh and Bunny departed for solo careers and the band became known as Bob Marley & the Wailers), Burnin' opens with a signature song, the call to action "Get Up, Stand Up" and includes a more confrontational and militant tone than previous records, such as in another Marley standard turned into a #1 pop hit by Eric Clapton, "I Shot the Sheriff". The songs "Duppy Conqueror", "Small Axe" and "Put It On" are re-recordings of songs previously released.

Burnin' peaked at #151 and #41 on Billboard's Pop Albums and Black Albums charts respectively.
